Fashion Resolutions 2012

I think 2012 will be a great year for me...and not just in fashion, but overall!  I'm a new college graduate :) and this is the first time in a LONG time (decades even, lol)  that I wont be a student...until graduate school that is. 

For me, being a student for the last 20 years meant casual comfort, no makeup, Victoria's Secret body splashes...backpacks, totes and other function-orientated bags...flats, flip flops, gym shoes and UGGS....and ENDLESS parade of blue jeans, graphic tees, racer back tanks and cardigans.  I would like to attribute this apparent lack of style to the fact that up until I went to college, I had attended private school and basically worn different versions of the same uniform my whole life.  Naturally when it came time for me to pick out some "real" clothes I needed to be cost effective and so I purchased lots a mix-and-match pieces based around function and comfort.  Now that I will be entering the "real" workforce, and hopefully an office setting, I plan on giving my wardrobe a MUCH NEEDED polish.

I made this Polyvore collage to illustrate some of the things I resolve to try in the new year. I also want to find a signature fragrance this year because even though I love my Victoria's Secret PINK Warm& Cozy body splash...I firmly believe that every adult woman needs a ACTUAL perfume to call their own.  I have to a roller ball of both Vera Wang Love Struck and BCBG Max Azria, so those are the first two I plan to try.

I hope everyone has a fun NYE and an AWESOME 2012!

Until Next YEAR (whoop, whoop)

P.S....For my NYE mani, I decided to try OPI Auxxium for the 1st time! I'm usually a Shellac kinda girl so stay tuned for my 7-day check-in and final review!
